On this note, the Hollywood Smile is one of the most known aesthetic dental treatments loved by everyone who ever wanted to sport a movie-star smile. Here are some questions you can take yourself through to understand what a Hollywood Smile is all about, in case you are seeking treatment or you simply are curious and want to know.
A Hollywood Smile is a generalized term for the cosmetic dental makeover, bettering one’s feature of smiling to perfect, dazzling, and symmetrical. In most cases, a Hollywood Smile will include tooth whitening, veneers, crowns, and, if need be, orthodontics—all completed in the pursuit of creating an ideal smile that does not only look good but works in the right way.
Veneers: Thin porcelain shells that are glued to the front teeth.
The whitening treatment to lighten the color of teeth.
Crowns: These are caps to be put over the damaged or unsightly-shaped teeth.
Orthodontics: They are dental braces or aligners for the straightening of misaligned teeth.
Any person looking to improve his smile can be a candidate for the Hollywood Smile. This is targeted toward people mainly who have various problems such as teeth discoloration, chipping, and spacing problems. You will, however, have to have healthy teeth and gums prior to any cosmetic work being done.
How many procedures need to be done, and the intensity of the treatment required, will vary from patient to patient and thus, dictate how long it will take to create a Hollywood Smile. Some are simple and can be accomplished in a few appointments over several weeks. Others are more involved and can extend over many months if orthodontic work is required.
Consultation: 1 Visit to look at your complaints, assess your needs, and plan how to go about things.
Preparation: 1-2 Visits to prepare your teeth for veneers or crowns.
Procedure: 1-2 visits for veneers/crowns/ whitening
Aftercare: Further visits may be needed in terms of adjustments or orthodontic work.
The Hollywood Smile does not hurt; however, at certain steps, such as during preparation and the placing of veneers, there might be a slight feeling of discomfort by some patients. Any pain, if felt, can normally be easily controlled with local anesthesia, and after any work done, over-the-counter pain relief could be taken to reduce sensitivity.
